[THESE PHONE COMPANIES AREN’T WHAT YOU THINK]
Who are you really buying your phone from? Does that Motorola logo really mean what you think it does? BlackBerry hasn’t made a phone in eight years, and for Nokia it’s been even longer - so why do so many people think they do? Today on MrMobile, we’re re-visiting the world of licensing to understand just what a tech brand name is (and isn’t).

I remember watching a video few days back about the history of Nokia and how it started off as a wood pulp mill and later strengthened its presence in other industrial domains by manufacturing rubber, tyres, cables, wires, TVs etc. It’s interesting to see that how companies like Nokia and Blackberry have built such a great reputation for themselves that despite having minimum to no presence in the production of mobile phones at present, one can always put their trust in the operations of its other subsidiaries as well… (at least I do!)

The Motorola Rugged phones story is even weirder: they are build by Bullit (as you said), but they seem to be based on Motorola Mobility designs. The 2021 Defy had a XT2083-9 model number, similar to the Moto G9 Play it's clearly based (XT1083-1).

It is worth pointing out that, just like the Nokia brand story, the same happened with Motorola: the one renamed Solutions after the split IS the original parent company (and a big one at that). Mobility was just one of various branches, which was sold to Google then landed at Lenovo. Another similarity: Nokia made home network stuff (like home routers and modems), at least until the dawn of the ADSL era. Motorola did too under its Home division and lasted longer, until 2012 when Arris bought it all. So if you have one of those very popular cable modems, chances are its just a rebranded/evolved Big M device.

During era where they released 6.1, 7.1 etc phones they were really good and they did a lot of things right. Current Nokia phones are just low quality underpowered and overpriced garbage. Funny thing is that they can't get right even clear Android. For example Nokia 5.3 is impossible to reset to factory setting after android 12 update that came more than a year late. For some reason the update deletes recovery partition meaning that the phone deletes it's OS but it can't restore it so the phone is bricked and with bootloader being locked there is not way to fix it. Rest of the phones have so many bugs they are barely usable and the promise of monthly security updates? Yeah if you are lucky you'll get one in 3-4 months.

In Brazil, initially Nokia phones were manufactured and branded by Gradiente, the largest electronics company in the country at the time. Yeah, the same Gradiente that tried to sue Apple for the iPhone trademark a few years back. But that's another story. Nowadays, you can find VAIO and Compaq notebooks and Infinix Phones in many stores, all built under license by Positivo Tecnologia.

The brand Vertu went into bankruptcy, and then a Chinese coompany bought the branding and makes phones, however they misleadingly say the same "Made in England" branding, but the Vertu factory was demoished and has since been replaced with a shopping centre and Vertu now has no footing even in Europe, meaning they are lying. You can only find Vertu being sold in China, Russia and the middle East.

Funny thing, back in 2014, at the beginning of the LTE Voice tests, mostly know nowadays by VoLTE, I was working in the biggest Telecom Company in Portugal. I had in my hand for some months, while testing, a brand new, never released phone from Microsoft/Nokia, based in the Lumia 1520, with the Initial VoLTE hardware and software for testing and a ton of laser engravings on the back for identification of who leaked the images of the never released phone (it is normal even for Apple, who I also had models to test before releasing). That company had all the Core Network and 3G antenna controllers branded NSN, that was the Nokia Siemens Networks, the Nokia that nowadays have the new Logo (who also made another rebranding before, changing their main logo from Nokia Siemens Networks to NSN and now this rebranding).

Blackberry 10 was the best software that ever came out. Full functionality and without the clutter and bloatware of Android nor the restrictions of iOS. The gesture based buttonless UI paved the way for iphone 10 and whatever followed in Android after that. If Apple had bought them would awesome. Lets not forget QNX may be the most efficient and stable multitasking software on the planet that is why it is on all VW group cars. Maybe im hopelessly romantic but i still believe a full BB10 overlay over stock Android would make an awesome phone. Android versions of the hub were a failure so far. One can dream 😆

I had a Blackberry Classic when I was in high school. I'll never forget it. BB10 was fluid, logical, elegant and bespoke. There were so many little details in the UX that made it a more comfortable experience than iOS and Android, even now. Like the swipe-based functionality, or bedside mode and its warm red clock face, or the hub, which piled the notifications in from all your apps into one place. Even the font choices and the aesthetic of the icons, which were this clever fusion of iOS flat design and Android material. It had so much potential to make an iconic smartphone, but it was let down by lack of support and a stuffy brand image.

Great video, I always had a soft spot for the OG erricsson phones before Sony got hold of them , quick question though, whet is that circular screen you’re wearing on your lapel ?

@@TheMrMobile looks cool, perhaps you do a video on it, do you find in recent years it seems the problems seem to lye more with software glitches rather than the hardware itself

Some budget Sony Ericsson phones (the W395, for example), were actually produced by Siemens. Those were often, if not always, further crippled in software, e.g. lacking support for custom themes. As such, SE has licensed their own hardware platforms to other manufacturers at some point too.

I really did like the early ZTE smartphones - they were selling most of them under any random insert name brands or under network carrier brand but they all run completely clean android with just couple of ZTE ring tones addded in :D
